Why Has Tom Kean Jr. Gone Silent on His Campaign Promise to Put His Assets Into a Blind Trust?

Kean Jr. campaigned on a pledge that he would place his assets into a blind trust, but is facing scrutiny for breaking his promise

Lawmakers are weighing legislative options to ban members of Congress from trading stocks while in office. But there’s one member who has been noticeably silent: Tom Kean Jr. 

Reminder: Kean Jr. campaigned on a promise to ban congressional stock trading and place his millions of dollars in assets into a blind trust. But reporting revealed he has broken that promise to New Jersey voters.

It’s time for Kean Jr. to answer a simple question: Why has he failed to follow through on his promise to New Jersey voters? 

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Career politician Tom Kean Jr. continues to profit off the stock market despite running on a promise to ban congressional stock trading and put his assets into a blind trust. New Jersey voters deserve to know why Kean Jr. said one thing on the campaign trail but has done the opposite in Washington.”
